Hello there! It's Friday which means it's 52 Favorites day! I'm sharing Week 19 on the Paper Issues Blog today.

For most of us, these past few months have been so weird. I haven't been able to do all the fun stuff I like to do during the week or on weekends. Pretty sire most of you haven't either. One of my favorite things about 52 Favorites, is that is makes me stop to find the good things that happened during the week, no matter how small.

This week was my son's birthday. We celebrated with a physically distanced walk by the water. No big celebrations this year, but definitely the highlight of my week.

I'm using a 6x6 album I made filled with all different Vicki Boutin paper collections. I keep it super simple using mostly scraps of paper, stickers and  ephemera. I like to embellish one side, usually with the title and use the other side for the photo and journaling. It never takes me more than 30 minutes to do!

It's never too late to start this project. Make it your own. You can find this and all of the May challenges in our Facebook Group.

School At Home

Hello there! It's Scraplift Sunday and I'm sharing my lift of Lacey's page on the Paper Issues blog today!   

This is such a fun design and super different than what I would usually do. To me that's one of the best things about scraplifting: trying other styles, then adapting them to your own. That's exactly what I did here. 

I left the design alone, but played around with everything else.  I love the two wonky triangles! I have been taking pictures of my son while we try to do school everyday. I thought Shimelle Never Grow Up would be a good choice for them.  That Alphabet paper couldn't have been more perfect! I clustered a bunch of Stickers and ephemera. I love using sentiment stickers for my son. The words are inspiring just like him. 

Want to know a secret? I smudged the paint at the bottom of the page.  I tore piece out at the top too. This is one mistake that worked in my favor. 

Thanks so much for stopping by my creative view today. Check out more of my work on Instagram @thebeachygal. See you again soon!
